DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from American Criminal Trials The first volume of this work was published more than two years ago, and was stated to be an experiment, which, if successful, would demonstrate that the most important and interesting criminal trials, that have taken place in this country, might be rendered acceptable to the general reader, in the form of abridged narrations divested of the technicalities of legal proceedings. The favor with which the plan and objects of the work were received was highly encouraging, and the success of the first volume was at least equal to its merits. The present volume has been delayed by various causes, one of which was the difficulty of authenticating some of the facts, and it is believed, that the value of the work has been increased by the time consumed in the necessary investigations for this purpose.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Rule of law has vanished in America’s criminal justice system. Prosecutors decide whom to punish; most accused never face a jury; policing is inconsistent; plea bargaining is rampant; and draconian sentencing fills prisons with mostly minority defendants. A leading criminal law scholar looks to history for the roots of these problems—and solutions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The publication of the following volumes may be regarded as an experiment, which, if successful, will demonstrate that the most important and interesting criminal trials, which have taken place in this country, may be rendered acceptable to the general reader, in the form of abridged narrations divested of the technicalities of legal proceedings. In selecting the cases for publication, the author has been chiefly governed by a desire to present those, which might be interesting to the American reader, not only as illustrative of the morals and manners, but as connected with the religious or political history, of the periods in which they occurred; and, in preparing them for the press, he has attempted to give an account of each case, after a careful examination of all the facts which might throw light upon it, in the form of a narrative accompanied by such general remarks and reflections as naturally suggested themselves to his mind; no other idea of completeness or unity of purpose being entertained, so far as the present work is concerned, than that every trial should contain all the facts, necessary to make it intelligible by itself and without reference to any other. Trial of Anne Hutchinson; Trial of the Quakers; Trial for Witchcraft (Salem); Trial of Thomas Maule; Trial of Peter Zenger; Trial of Certain Negroes for a Conspiracy to Burn the City and Murder the Inhabitants (New York); Trial of Jacob Leisler; Trial of Nicholas Bayard; and more.
